We’ve been working on this for a while but now it’s finally time to make an official announcement. The CYDI Store is now the CYDI Speed Shop! On top of it being the place to find the stuff we make, it’s also stocked with a curated selection parts to keep your bike dialed in, from brands that support and make products geared towards trail riders. We’ve got it loaded up with a bunch of stuff from S&M, Deluxe, Fit, Kink, Relic, Duo, ODI, Mission and Merritt, and over the next several weeks we’ll be adding more parts and eventually frames….

It doesn’t even seem like all that long ago that 8.25″ tall bars were considered humungous. These days though… that’s definitely on the smaller side. And for that reason Merritt is blowing out their remaining 8.25″ Brian Foster signature bars for just $20! You already know they’re 8.25 inches tall, but the other specs are 29″ wide, 12° back sweep, 2° up sweep and a weight of 27.1 ounces. They feature multi-butted heat treated chromoly tubing, dual radius bends, a 19mm crossbar and of course come with the Blue Falcon’s seal of approval. If that sounds good to you then…

If you’re in the market for a new set of cranks this season then you should definitely add Merritt’s new Battle Cranks to your list of considerations. Their heat treated 4130 arms feature a rectangular shape and wrap around both the spindle and pedal bosses for maximum strength. Equally as strong is the 48 splined hollow 22mm spindle that they ride on. If you’re a weirdo like our friend Chris Bird and like to run your sprocket on the wrong side, you’re in luck because the Battle Cranks are right and left drive side compatible thanks to having sprocket bosses…

Wethepeople drew inspiration from their Patrol line to create the 2017 Volta complete bike. With its 21.15″ top tube, slack geometry and parts spec that includes Merritt’s Brian Foster signature FT1 tires, the Volta is ready to hit the trails right out of the box. They threw Paul Thoelen on one for this promo to prove that fact. After you get done watching you can get the full geometry and parts rundown of the Volta over on WTP’s site.

Looks like Ride hasn’t quite forgotten about us lowly trail riders after all, as they just put up a bike check on Brian Foster’s chromed out stead. That thing looks damn good but we may need to get a petition going to get a bigger sprocket up on there! You can peep Brian’s current ride and get the full parts rundown right HERE.

Sean Curran posted up this look at the new Battle rim that they’ve been cooking up over at Merritt. They’re not quite ready to show off the rim’s internal structure just yet, but from what I’ve heard, Sean was burning the midnight oil getting its design just right so that the rim would be as strong as possible. Apparently he succeeded, because the team has been doing their best to kill them and they’re holding up to everything that’s been dished out. No word on when the Battle rims will be available to us plebeians, but we’ll let you know…

Seeing as we’re giving away one of Merritt’s Non-Stop Cassette hubs today, I figured it would be as good a time as ever to take a closer look at both the Non-Stop Cassette and the Non-Stop front hub. With the Non-Stop front hub, Merritt set out to create a simple, strong and fast rolling hub. The understated CNC machined 6061 aluminum hub shell rolls on a hollow chromoly female axle with precision Japanese bearings between. In keeping with simplicity as the design criteria, the hub’s cones simply press on. Rubber o-rings in the cones ensure a tight fit and prevent…
